BEST CHEAP EATS in NEW YORK Pt. 2 (Chinatown!)

[@paelie]

THANK YOU for putting timestamps and listing the places you went to. Makes it easier to find when I look up the name of a restaurant

[@elizabethyip8005]

Omg the vietnamese deli at 7:26 is my uncle’s deli! They really do make amazing viet food so please check it out :)

[@heidiguo2678]

WOHOOOO

[@Paperfragment]

Your reviews are amazing! I learn something new everytime! I was in NY last week and hit up almost every restaurant on your last video, you were on point. When we were waiting at Spicy Village two other groups of poeple were there because of your video, one guy was actually playing your video as we were waiting. Thank you so much for putting all the work into these videos :). I can't wait to come back to NY to try these restaurants too.

[@1916mookies]

Living near Chinatown most of my childhood and now in Brooklyn thanks Fung Bros for reintroducing and introducing and motivating me to try these awesome cheap eats. You guys rocks!

[@anniecannon6015]

I see that you guys are going to these places on different days, which I really appreciate because I've always wondered if KZbinrs really finish all the food they order when they do a food crawl all in one day.

[@MaryChan12]

Hakbox rice rolls & their dumplings are so nostalgic! Totally brings back childhood memories🥰🥰

[@sanxpeb]

Love this video! I have eaten at most of the places and i appreciate how honest and accurate your reviews on each food items. I am also very proud of u for showcasing how cheap and delish the foods in chinatown are & also how u are trying to save NYC's chinatown as well. Keep doing you!

Those banh mi look subpar. More cucumber than meat. Cucumber is a no-no ingredient in banh mi. Makes it super soggy.

[@jnyjiajia]

I noticed you guys kept mentioning "tamago" as the fluffy omelette, but it's actually specifically called "tamagoyaki"! tamago literally translates to egg :)

[@TommyEats]

Lol, I was just telling my friend that.

[@sabrinachen8805]

tamagoyaki is also just referred to as tamago! especially in a nigiri sushi or omakase setting

[@zennoodle]

I like what Andrew said about food transcending generations. If the video was shortened to 5 minutes and he said that at the end, that's it. Props for hitting the essential thought of all food that is great!

[@felixm2845]

Okay honestly putting everything in the description below is the reason I will always watch these

[@nexusyang4832]

Always coming in hard with these dope videos. Respect!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank god Mei Lai Wah is open again. I used to get cha siew bao on my way home after school here. Great job uncovering these spots - I'm gonna check out some of the new places!

[@ninariks2419]

I love these series!! Keep up the great work guys

please do a video on flushing. There is a lot of great Chinese eats over in Flushing, Queens.

Loving this series! Thank you bringing awareness to support these small local business. I'm from New York and still didn't know about most of these places, I will for sure go try these places out next time I'm in chinatown!

Onigiri isn't too difficult to make. They're easy and can be very satisfying in simplicity

I once produced a tv episode featuring Buddha Bodai. I was amazed at how close to actual meat the vegetarian food tasted. Great job highlighting the spots.

[@bebeqtgurl]

Thank You, really love seeing all these places being shown in your video. I've lived here my whole life and still haven't gotten to try everything yet, your videos can help bring awareness and keep these businesses alive!

[@joannadesu]

yall need to try the *bbq pork* option from Banh Mi Saigon - that's my faveeee!

[@UppingDowners]

The fact that y’all cameraman was in a full kit rollerblading fit I’m liking this video 😂

Love how non bullshitty this video is, big love from Harlem. I have something to do this weekend🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Tiger sugar just added a drink with tiger jelly to the menu. Its the perfect sized coffee jelly and is my current number 1 drink. A MUST TRY ITS SO GOOD

[@laviedeteresa]

Please do one for Flushing!! There’s a super authentic Taiwanese place owned by my parents called Crystal Ice 😊 shaved ice, tofu flan, rice burritos...authentic Taiwanese food you can’t find anywhere else in NYC!

[@jolieannnacion7506]

Nice, I came back to this channel. I first saw you guys when you started Asian parents vids.

[@robertlee4172]

Love the food crawl through NYC. Toronto has a huge Vietnamese and Chinese population too. With it plenty of cheap eats. You can get a gut busting meal for about $7 bucks usd. Noodles, dumplings, fish, pork chops, and my favourite, Chinese bbq.

[@tinatilley6116]

List of Asian Food Concentrated Spots: 8th Ave, Brooklyn; Flushing, Queens; Elmhurst, Queens! SO MUCH TO DISCOVER

[@Kelvinjan]

So glad you guys hit up May Wah. I've been going there since I was a kid and it still tastes the same as I remembered as a kid 20 years ago. One of the best pork chops over rice hands down.

[@lcc726]

Guys u need to collab with Mike Chen since he's in NY too now EDIT: WOW over 200 likes❤️

The original flagship location of Yayas is on Chrystie Street. The location on Grand Street is their second location. There's a rice noodle shop called Yi Ji Shi Mo on Elizabeth Street in Chinatown that is really cheap and delicious. Also few stores down across the street, there's an Chinese food market with hot food, bakery and butchershop that has the staple for food for Asian ppl in Chinatown for decades.Mei Wah Fast Food charges you extra for the egg btw. Also, around the corner on Bayard from May Wah, there's two dessert places serving mochi donuts and matcha soft serve

[@GDIGhostStalker]

That Chinese food market with doors on both Elizabeth and Mott (goes by Deluxe Food Market in English, and I don’t know how to write their Chinese name, something 昌 like a lot of the Chinese meat markets in NY’s various Chinatowns in Manhattan and Flushing and 8th Ave in Sunset Park Brooklyn) is real good for meats too. It’s less packed than it used to be because of Covid (at least when I took a look earlier this week) but their siu lap and 牛腩 is bomb and their dim sum and sushi ain’t bad either. I’ve been meaning to go to Yi Ji Shi Mo for noodles, but they’re always closed by the time I swing by after work. The place on Bayard with matcha soft serve is Taiyaki, they’re known for their taiyaki fish pastry cones with red bean or custard, and also their unicorn soft serve that made them Insta famous. I was there yesterday after work celebrating a week in my new job for matcha soft serve in a red bean taiyaki cone because Chinatown Ice Cream Factory didn’t have my favorite flavor (Dan tat) all week. They had a pop up in Flushing I went to all the time last year, I dunno if they’re still there, but I doubt it because it was in a food court and I’m pretty sure they closed down due to the lockdown. I think they’re also in hipster Williamsburg too.

[@uniqueanartist6792]

Thank you for this

[@icecreamheadachesxx]

Buddha Bodai is such a hidden gem! One of my favorite vegetarian spots in the city :)

Hey guys, Re: Hakka food has been in Chinatown for over 60 years. The Hakbox menu started around early 60's if not late 50's with the endearing Yuk Lon on Catherine St. Then family expanded and went around the corner to open Nam Fong, Southern Wind with expanded menu of rice and noodle dishes. The sons of original owners were fabulous cooks !! Is sad that their kids didn't carry on tradition, but... have their own careers. Hakbox does terrific job on, carrying on. Though many shops has tried to imitate, Hakbox has definitely done a great job, especially when you see elderly women standing on line. Chung fun is delicious as original and stuffed tofu as the originally made with salted fish for taste is delicious. Yeah I go around the corner also to Fong On for the Sweet rice cake, Bok Tong Go 😋. Oh Kings is a block away for Clay Pot rice on E Broadway with many choices and if you do take out take home the clay pot for two bucks 🎉.

[@marcusc3338]

The way David says Andrew makes me hungry! In New York right now looking for some dank chinese spots, thanks so much for the recommendations!

I like the veitnamese sandwich I will go there soon next week, thanks for sharing this video tour for cheap eats in Chinatown, keep up the great work you guys was showing, thanks a lot

[@danieltan9056]

Here are some of my recommendations for your consideration: 1. King’s kitchen - 92 East Broadway; probably have the best bbq port and roast chicken in this Chinatown imo 2. Sun Hing Lung- 58 Henry Street; rice noodle, it’s a hole in the wall 3. Ming’s Café - 28 Canal Street; a HK style café that locals frequent 4. Big Wong - 67 Mott St; my go-to for Cantonese food, one of the older restaurants that is still around 5. 88 Lan Zhou Handmade Noodle - 40 Bowery Street; used to be on East Broadway and you have done a video at their old location 6. Kam Hing - 118 Baxter st; a bakery famous for their sponge cake. 7. Rice noodle cart on E Broadway and Rutgers(in ront of Wu’s Wonton King); by a lady, have irregular hours 8. Shang Hai 21 - 21 Mott Street; probably the best Shanghainese restaurant in this Chinatown imo None of these spots are hippie…but thank you for doing these and the effort to help keep Chinatown Alive!

[@jellyluver22]

88 lanzhou is closing end of this month sadly :(

What about Hop Shing? It is right by the N.Y Noodle house, if i am not mistaken

[@SmoothieO]

I grew up near Chinatown & I absolutely love these videos!! I love to see the restaurants that survived gentrification in this area (lower east side) as a matter of fact that’d be a great video!!

[@tinkerbella4605]

Food crawl for me and my niece. Great video. Buddha Bodai is my fav. Just ordered from there last week. The vegan char shu is off the hook.

[@marig9236]

Went to 2 of the spots from the last cheap eats video and my god... def worth it.

[@mistystarzlite]

Tamago is just egg. If you're thinking of the fluffy rolled omelet, that's tamagoyaki.

[@MissRainaRose]

Agreed, but since it’s an FJ spot they should just call it soy sauce egg instead of randomly calling it tamago. It’s like false marketing. Just a boiled egg marinated in soy sauce.

Hak Box is a modern version of New South Wind Restaurant that used to be on Division Street. I'm glad to see them bring back some of the old school food I grew up with. I'll definitely go there if I return to visit NYC. I wish someone would open a new version of King Sun Restaurant that used to be on Pell Street. They used to make roast beef with brown gravy over rice which was sooo good I still crave it to this day.

My favorite memory of Mei Lai Wah was this famous rather heavy set waitress approaching the table and while eyeballing the kitchen she'd snap "Wadda Ya Want !!!". She was the original soup nas ee. Adorable, she moved on to hagen daz later on. She was the mom of a popular insurance dealer on E Broadway.
